Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

madagascar21

I enjoyed the first movie more than I expected. I found the penguins and the lemur king (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) hilarious. They were still the best part of the sequel. This one picks up right where the last one left off. They had put together their plane they crash landed on the island in the first one. It was put together as a giant slingshot so you know it would end well. Shockingly, they don’t go far when they crash land into Africa. Conveniently, it is right where Alex the lion was kidnapped as a baby by poachers but eventually sailed all the way across the ocean to end up in New York.

You could say this movie had more of a plot than the first one, but I didn’t enjoy it as much. I believe I found the actual story lines to be a bit boring. Alex bonding with his mother and father or the human safari group that crashed and had to survive were boring to me. I wanted to go back to the penguins and the lemur with their goofiness. Maybe I was expecting too little in the movie so when stories showed up, it distracted me from the fluff.
